It was a slow week but then something happened

We’ve spent most evenings in the last week on the couch, hand-sewing the binding onto a quilt while watching Season One of Downton Abbey. This has been a lovely way to pass the time, though it hasn’t really lent itself to blogging.

But last night, between the cedar-planked salmon and the chocolate-raspberry parfait, GC got down on bended knee and asked me to marry him! We haven’t sorted out when or where or how – all we know for sure is we’re going to live happily ever after.

it’s hard to imagine being happier about the good news of someone I’ve never met… it’s been obvious from your blog how well suited you two are, and how much you enjoy your time together. Many, many happy years to you both.

Thanks everyone for all your congratulations, best wishes and chocolate flan recipes! It actually feels surprisingly different being engaged than being in love but not engaged. I don’t know why that is, but I like it.

The animals are mostly pretty enthusiastic about the engagement – especially Simon, who LOVES the ring.
